Red Tide hits Maine coast

Levels of the toxin are the highest in more than 30 years and are reminiscent of New England’s worst-ever red tide, in 1972. That bloom also turned coastal waters reddish-brown and poisoned wildlife – effects so rare in Maine since, that current state officials and clam diggers say they have never experienced them.

Apparently, even the green stuff in Lobsters is something to avoid. Not that most of us would eat that stuff anyway (yech!).
